I'm really not understanding your math here
7 gal pots
Plants drink 2gal each for a total of 4 gal
If you Mix nutes @ 20ml per gal ...
4 gal x 20ml= 80ml
I dont use ff so I dunno the dosing and if thats the right amount but that's the formula man...

Still don't even know if I'm answering your question right

Maybe I misunderstood the original question. Now that I reread the original post it seems like you have no idea about basic nutrient mixing and usage.

I don't know the proper feeding schedule for your nutrients, but let's assume it's 20ml per gallon.

You say your plants need a total of 4 gallons to feed. 20 ml PER gallon. 4 total gallons. 20ml x 4 gallons = 80 ml mixed into 4 gallons of water. It's not rocket science.

Edit: I just realized I literally wrote almost exactly what @Jjgrow420 just wrote. Hopefully you can understand the answer between the two posts.

No I have 3 plants they use 2 gallons each of water at a time so I give them 2 jugs should I put 20 ml in both jugs or just one?

Yes. Each gallon should have the nutrients in them. Don't double up one gallon and try and make up for it by watering with plain water in the second gallon. As it says 20ml per gallon.

3 plants. Each use 2 gallons each. Total of 6 gallons. If you are mixing one large batch. Put 6 gallons into a container and add 120 ml of Tiger Bloom.

You give each plant 2 jugs and they take 2 gallons.

That means each jug is one gallon. If the feeding schedule is 20 ml PER gallon what do you think you should put in each jug???

Ok I got you now 20 ml in every gallon of feed when I feed which is once every 6 days or so

Bro that's insane
i have been growing 1 year now and always just buy bottled water afraid of my tap even though its probably great water if one plant takes 100 gallons for its whole life cycle thats only 80 bucks at 80 cents a gallon

That's really irrelevant. I use all kinds of diff stuff. I monitor my ec levels.
I run a freshwater rez and mix in a 5 gal bucket.
If I need more I mix in a large tote. All at one time. You must have alot of time on your hands mixing by the gal and buying bottled water all the time. Tons of people use tap water without issue. Is there a reason you don't use it?

I’m similar.

I have a 60L tote for my drip system and use a 25L container for refills.

so I mix in my 25L (as that’s what I’m used to doing) and then decant into my 60L when needed.

Ya man all about making it easy on yourself. Why have such a convoluted process of mixing by the gal...? Crazy

Yeah I agree.


@osowhom have you thought about buying a 100L tote etc?

that way you can keep buying your water and just keep your tote topped up when needed.
